The Christian nativity scene makes its annual appearance in almost every Christian church around the world and in many Christian homes during the holiday season. In some cases the nativity scene is a year round decoration or display in many a home. Nativity scenes, collection sets, figures and creches also are represented in different ways by many cultures throughout the world.
